Dump-car.



i UNITED STATES lo all whom itmay concern.'l I V he it known .that I, CnAnLns E. Gossnm, citizen et the United States, residing at Eldon, in tlie county td charge from'dump It is especially well nd'tpted i 50 side, being cerried by suitable hangers P; iAs'shown.

for cnrsof the 'Ingoldsby typo, wherein-there is coitf trad longitudint'il benin to.which are hingedY dumping doors which swing downward at their outer edges nt'the sides of the csr. With Pueh'cizr Inj/ invention is most.

satisfactorily embodied in a baille structure depending from the side ofthe car und adnpted to deilecttlie hilling material. With such on rmngeiucnt the ein@ is especially well adapted idr ballast; service, u sthebartillc prevents the ballnst going-ovcrthe edgeoi thenilwny embankment and insures it being deposited innnedit ately alongside the rail. l

The invention is hert-inciter more fully described and its essential chamcteristics set out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is aside elevation of un Ingoldsby car equipped with my bziille; l"ig.2 is n. crow section oi' auch cnr, and Figs. 3'and'4 are details showing means for securing .the baille to the sideoi a. steel cnr. i f

Referring y reference letters to the d mwings, A reprcnts the sides of the car; B the central longitudinil benin; C the dumping doors which are Vhinged :it their inner edges to such btoin, and at their outer edges arel ndnptcd to abut the lower edges ofthe sid. The'v doors nreV shown as adapted to be held in a closed yposition by means of hooks D on the sides of the car engaging iloor benino E projecting from the undersides ofthe delire.. A link l. coimects the hooks D with an operating lover G.-. 0n the underside voi' the ,longitudinal beam I have shown ade-pending plate H which carries 40 arc-shepef` bumpers J which are adapted to be locked with their ends projecting varying amounts; thus holding the doors in the desired position when' dropped. Suilnble springs K nre carried on the und ides of thedoors to engage the bt'mpers.A End shields 4L are provided to prevent the material pssing ofi the vends of the doors. This much of the construction is usual in The baiilejboard, which may-be mde oi either wood or, metal, is designntedN.` It depends from the car in the drawing, the hangers are arranged `to hold the baille board in :t position outside oi the plane of .the car sid-e'. This allows clearance for the projecting door .beejnis E, and has been found satisfactory incausing the desired deflection of thediseharged materiel.
